Announcements For Our Shared Ministries,

Activities and Volunteering Opportunities

Shared service on February 16 - No 12:30 Mary of Magdala Service

Make your plans for February 16 to include a whole morning of fellowship with St. Paul's Episcopal and Trinity Lutheran Church, our partners at 301 E. Stuart Street. We will start off with a shared Adult Forum in which we talk about the traditions of our communities. Then we will worship together at 10:30 am. Finally, following worship, we will enjoy a time of sharing food and friendship

For questions, contact Len Russ by email here

Need some furniture? Check out the Restore!



Hartford Homes is donating furniture from their model homes to the ReStore this week so help us spread the word to folks to shop at the ReStore for some awesome finds.

Volunteers Needed - Building Security

We are looking for several new volunteers to lock up TLC on Fridays and Sundays. The work is easy and takes about a half hour in the evening. You could work as a primary and do it once a week or as a back-up which would be a rare involvement. Thank you for considering this 301 Partners ministry. Please email marymagdalafc@gmail.com

Bloom the Circle

The 301 Property Committee will be starting an initiative called "Bloom The Circle" in order to beautify the circle in front of TLC.

Do you love designing and nurturing beautiful gardens? We need you if you do and would appreciate your talent. More will be known as we leave the throws of winter.

Volunteering at Irish Elementary 

Are you interested in having a rewarding, making-a-difference experience? Please consider listening to a child who needs help with reading. We need reading tutors at Irish Elementary School. We currently have need of a tutor at 10:40 am on Wednesdays. 

Although Irish is a bilingual school, you do not need to know Spanish to help. If you spend 30-45 minutes a week helping a child read, you’ll be rewarded knowing that you’ve made a big difference in that child’s life. Please contact Jo Anne Gearhart at gearhartjm@yahoo.com Thank you.

Adult Learning Opportunities 

Join the TLC Forums via Zoom

Each Sunday at 9:00 am

Meeting ID: 894 3735 9149 // Passcode: Lutheran

Trinity Readers

Trinity Readers will start 2025 by reading two non-fiction books that deal with social issue. And on Monday, March 3, we will discuss the hugely neglected subject of white poverty as illuminated by the Rev. Dr. William Barber in White Poverty: How Exposing Myths about Race and Class can Reconstruct American Democracy.

Join us at 9:30 am in the Fireside Room for one or both of these discussions, or join via Zoom link. Questions? Call Nadine Hunt at 970-825-3730.

301 Faith Partners Prayer Group

On the last Monday of each month at 10:30 am, the 301 Faith Partners Prayer Group meets to pray for the 301 Faith Partners! The group opens by calling on the Holy Spirit to be present. They then take one of the Core Values of the 301 Faith Partners and reflect on it. Following this, they engage in Lectio Divina and then share their reflections. 

They pray for the clergy and leadership bodies of Mary of Magdala, St. Paul’s, and Trinity. They close with a Litany of God’s Mission for the 301 Faith Partners, which was first prayed at the Bishops’ Blessing on May 31, 2023.

301 Quilters Update



The 301 Quilters stay busy making quilts from the donations given to us. We meet each Friday from 10-12 in Room 2. All are welcome and no experience is needed. We'll teach and guide through the quilt making process. Come be a part of this Faith Partner ministry.

Contact Pat at pathw27@gmail.com with any questions.

These do-it-yourself kits include quart-sized perennial plants, plant-by-number maps, seasonal maintenance suggestions, and watering schedule recommendations

How it Works: Pre-order in March for pickup and planting in May and June. Pre-order in June for pickup and planting in August and September.
